This is A 10×8 inch oil painting of Taz, a spectacular Maine Coon, looking up at a robin on a branch. I loved his expression and his coat is just a joy to paint! So full of gorgeous colours!

Noisy Neighbours!

I wanted to capture his inner lion. Not sure if I’ve done that but he’s beautiful to paint.

The robin is a neighbour of ours. We watch him and his family going about their lives throughout the year.

I think I should call it noisy neighbours! :-)

I couldn’t resist the challenge of painting this pretty little tabby cat sitting on a hot pink sofa with the light shining in her fur. This is the smallest painting I’ve done, it’s only 5×5 inches and painted in oils.

She was quite a challenge but it was fun to see if I could do it at such a small size!

This is Teddy, a magnificent red Maine Coon and one of my favourite cats. I love painting him! His fur is so full of colour.

Here’s a close up detail…

And here he is framed.

This is Edina playing in the wrapping paper. A silver Maine Coon cat in pretty pink wrapping, luscious! She’s a beautiful girl. I’ll make this into a new Christmas card.
